I saw you tube saying Eagles were the best team.
At this point I don't see it. Maybe by year's end they become the best team. It's very early.
Eagles have problems with their offense. They are 30th in yards gained but 7th in pts scored.
That don't jive.
Much like I pointed out with the Ravens.
Eagles outgained in total yards and look at ave per play.
Eagles 4.2 and they give up 5.4 = (-1.2)
How can a team (-1.2) yards per play be the best team in the league ?
4.2 is terrible and they ave only 5 yards per pass attempt while giving up 5.8 = (-.8)
But they are undefeated and are 7th in pts scored.
If we look closer they have won the TO Battle 1 to 5 by 4. And block kicks for TD's.
And incredibly they are 11 for 11 scoring TD's in the redzone, 100%, not sustainable much longer as last year they were 57%.
While their defense is holding opps to 4 TD's in 11 tries or 36.4%.
I look up the past 10 years and only 4 or 5 teams held opps to under 40% on the season. Mostly the best teams were around 44% .
Last year Eagles were 50% giving up TD's in red zone so their defense is not sustainable either.
The key here is to look at how many red zone attempts the Eagles have VS opps.
And it is 11 to 11. That is not stuff of the best team. The better teams should have many more attempts getting into the red zone then their opps do.
Last year the Eagles were around 68 to only 45 for their defense, somewhere in that neighborhood.
As of now I don't see how the Eagles could be the best team.
The question was not who will become the best team, maybe the Eagles get things straighten-out and become the best team but as of now how could they be considered the best team ?
